5820k or 5930k?

[AdrianHasGame]

I'm planning on using the MSI X99S SLI Motherboard with a single GPU. I'm wondering which would be better in terms of video editing, or would they be equal performance in video editing?

 

Thanks in advance guys!

5820k tbh

5930k is just slightly higher clocked with more PCI lanes, which are generally not useful unless you're doing 3+ way SLI. 

I'd get the 5820k.

The only difference between the 2 is base/boost clocks and number of PCIe lanes. They would be that same in editing, provided that your overclock (assuming you're doing it) are the same.

5930k is just slightly higher clocked with more PCI lanes, which are generally not useful unless you're doing 3+ way SLI. 

I'd get the 5820k. 

 

Really for 4-way SLI only. In 3-way you'd still have x8/x8/x8 which is fine.

They're not equal in terms of productivity performance from what I've seen in various benchmarks both overclocked and stock. The 30k beats the 20k out by a bit.
From what I can tell its slightly better than the 4960X whereas the 20k sits under it.

It might be worth considering what kind of storage you'll be using with it, if you're going with m.2 or NVME perhaps moar lanes would be a good thing.

Just get the 5820k, overclock it some, and throw the rest of the saved money at an SSD.

5820k is your best shot. 5930k generally gives more pci e lanes which is only useful for 3 way to 4 way sli or crossfire. Although the performance is quite the same.

Clock for clock the 5930k is faster, but only just. The 5820k is better "bang for buck"

Can go with 5820k which is best one.
